Some cats don't do well on planes. Sedatives may or may not be safe for Leo, so he should be examined by a vet in Texas to determine what would be the best course of action. If he hasn't been in a kennel before this plane ride, you may have some time to work on getting him more comfortable in his carrier before your flight back.
